Place the (A) ingredients, bread flour, cake flour, yeast, cold milk and sugar into the bread pan. Close the lid gently.

Press the MENU button until desired program 'raw dough' is selected so that the machine does all the mixing and kneading. Once the process has been completed 'stir 1', open the lid, add 1 tbsp olive oil to the bread pan, and continue 'stir 2' until beeps will signal.

Press the MENU button until you reach 'ferment'. The bread maker will allow your dough to rise for 30 minutes giving the dough more depth flavor or until beep to signal and then you take it out of the machine.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, punch down the dough. Cut each piece 35g, into 18 pieces total. Scoop a teaspoon of filling onto the centre. Pull and pinch the edges of the dough together. Repeat with the remaining dough and place on the baking tray.

Rise in the oven with boiled water underneath for 30 minutes to 1 hour until double or triple in size.

Lightly brush the buns with beaten egg. To make the topping, mix all the ingredients together until a soft paste is formed. Spoon the paste into a piping bag and snip off one corner and pipe two lines and sprinkle some sesame seeds.

Bake in pre-heated oven at 150°c for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
